Supreme Court of New Jersey
State of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Appellant v. Quinn Marshall, Defendant-Respondent
July 21, 2009199 N.J. 602
Summary
The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the Appellate Division's ruling that the search warrant for 105 Wayne Avenue was invalid because the affidavit failed to describe the specific apartment and the conditional language improperly delegated fact‑finding to police, violating the particularity and neutral magistrate requirements of the Fourth Amendment and the New Jersey Constitution. Accordingly, the evidence obtained was suppressed. Justice Rivera‑Soto dissented, arguing that the warrant complied with established precedent.
